Design Notebooks

Create a new slide in your Design Notebooks and title it “Favorite Knight News Challenge Semifinalists”

List your three favorite semifinalists, and explain what it is you like about each; how are the projects presented? How do they impact their target communities? What communication technologies do they use to achieve their goals?

Paper Prototypes

Some examples

Paper Prototyping Tools

Exercise

Using your User Personas and User Stories, pick an example user and identify a specific task they need to be able to accomplish using your solution

Write a a list of steps that user will need to take to complete the task

Create a set of drawings on paper that represent these interactions; these could be screens, or text messages, or voice menus, etc

Be sure to include descriptions of the specific content that will need to be present (just a description at the moment, you’ll need to develop the actual content later)

Assignment

Paper Prototypes

Meet with your team and continue developing your paper prototypes

Using your User Personas and User Stories, pick two additional example users (for three total, including the one you developed in class) and identify a specific task they need to be able to accomplish using your solution

Write a a list of steps they’ll need to take to complete the task

Create a set of drawings on paper that represent their interactions; these could be screens, or text messages, or voice menus, etc

Be sure to include descriptions of the specific content that will need to be present (just a description at the moment, you’ll need to develop the actual content later)

Take pictures of your paper prototype and upload them to both your News Challenge Entry and your Team Blog Page.

Team

Elevator Pitch

Many people in Trenton don’t have access to a car so they use a bicycle for transportation. However, information regarding biking events and routes in the city is often hard to find. Our goal is to make that information easy and convenient to find and use, while also highlighting local landmarks to encourage people from outside the city to come and enjoy a bike ride, hopefully stimulating the local economy and helping to remove the negative connotation often associated with the city.

Assignment

Diagrams and Content Maps

Identify three example users for your application and list one task each user might want to complete using your application

For each example user, create a bullet-pointed list of steps that each would need to follow using your team’s application to complete their task; think of it sort of like a recipe

Create a visual diagram for each list of steps

Based on your diagrams, create a basic content map (a map of screens/pages, like a site map you may have created in IMM 130); pay attention to steps that may be common to multiple users and steps that are unique to certain user types

Design Notebooks

Individually, create a new slide in your Design Notebook and label it “Diagrams and Content Maps”
